About the Course

This course is designed to teach you the foundations in order to write simple programs in Python using the most common structures. No previous exposure to programming is needed. By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of programming in IT roles; understand basic Python syntax; explore different code editors and developer environments; be able to write simple programs using Python; figure out how the building blocks of programming fit together; and combine all of this knowledge to solve a complex programming problem. We'll start off by diving into the basics of writing a computer program. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience with programming concepts through interactive exercises and real-world examples. You’ll quickly start to see how computers can perform a multitude of tasks — you just have to write code that tells them what to do....

Course presentation is good. Topic selection is good. Selected Strings, Lists, tuples and Dictionaries, using these program logic can be build. Examples are good and interesting. assignments are good.

This is actually a really great start for beginners in python. I am an intermediate python developer so for me it was too basic, but still a nice refresher for all the basics that we sometimes forget.

Not the most beginner friendly but certainly able to show and teach you some of the more amazing things that can be done with Python. I do recommend this course but you will need to teach yourself some of the topics in your free time to really get a grip on the matter.

Very good course, and the way of teaching was really great. I loved the sudden questions on the screen while watching the videos. But I think at the end things got hard a little too fast and I struggled a lot at the end, but overall, this course is highly recommended!

Glad to about recursion and object oriented programming. However, I prefer Google to allow students write Python script from scratch. This will allow students to be creative in problem solving. Also, sometimes I don't understand logic of the predefined python script.

I personally find that this course has been a bit hasty. Specially from Week 4 and thereon. Newbies will find it a bit challenging. But overall, it was a good experience. The instructor was quite motivating (which really helps in the later parts of this course T_T)

The course was great, I wish it would go more in depth or give even more examples. It was overwhelming with a lot of information but overall I appreciate the frequent pop quizes to keep me focused. Thank you for creating this program to help me towards my future.

This is a very good course to learn the basics of Python. The videos are short and interesting. One gets a lot of opportunities to practice writing code at every step of the way. I however felt I needed more explanation in the object oriented programming section.

The course material is broken down into small, easily understood concepts. However, I would have loved to see more examples which were related with the assignments. The assignments and projects had many problems which hindered the swift completion of the course.

It was a great beginner course! Though I wish they would explain more in depth sometimes. There were a few of the quizzes I couldn´t solve just based on what I learn. But I truly think you should try this course out if you want to learn python, it covers a lot!

The instructor is good and the documentations are quite clear, but the OOP project was too easy for a python "crash" course and it's certainly not a challenge for people who have prior programming experience in other languages. But overall it is worth the time.

I feel good about my progress and I hope I can get better at brushing up some math skills in combination with what Python can do. This course was challenging indeed however I believe it is a great start for people with more of a finance background like myself.

It is best course for who want learn python in best manner. I have done basics of python from YouTube but this course make my fundamentals more strong than I have. I would like to thank Coursera and Google for availing this course for me under financial aid.

Very effective course for a begineer and also for master . I have learned too many things from this course and will suggest my friends to do this course because this gives me lots of knowledge and get many resourses and learning throughputs . Thanks to you !

Really fantastic and practical course overall. My only challenge with it is that the difficulty of the test seemed range wildly of what you were expected to know how to do or not. Some of the practice questions were levels higher than the Module quiz itself.

Very good course for an into to python. I felt some concepts moved a little fast and examples were confusing to grasp. I found watching additional videos outside of this course and the discussion forums were very helpful and a key to success for this course.

The course by Google is very good. The presentation videos are awesome. Instructor explained very well. The only thing missing is some examples. Some of the practice tests are difficult for beginners. Without examples solving them is bit difficult.

Thank you

Interesting course in which contents related to Pynton programming are provided and put in practice by examples and coding assessments. Useful also the discussion fourm to exchange and solve issues and problems within the Coursera Pynton coders coursists.

Python has been an easy language to learn from the start. The videos and readings have been extremely helpful because we can always watch or read back at any time, as many times as we want. I have definitely gained a clearer understanding of the problems.

Course id definitely interesting and helpful, helps with many concepts and the instructor is really awesome, but the problem is with the way some questions are described, its hard to understand what actually we are supposed to do. Everything else was fun.

Course did an excellent job in teaching beginning programming. I wish the course did not provide so much help in writing the code, I believe trial and error is essential and by keeping the training wheels on some might be unable to grasp topics further.

The course is really wonderful. I really enjoy learing python professionally. The one thing I really dislike on this course would be the online IDE. The online IDE does not have automatic function selection and it becomes really pain to type everything.

Fun course, but would prefer more opportunities to write whole code instead of just filling in the blanks. This would encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. Additionally, more practice questions would be beneficial for reinforcing concepts.

This is excellent for beginners. However, this course does not include/cover topics like decorators, dunder/magic functions, functional programming(lambda, reduce, filter, map) LEGB, etc. These topics are important for anyone who wanst to master python

Good course overall, although they do gloss over some elements of programming which could cause confusion if you have no prior experience at all. That being said it does what it says on the tin and provides a crash course on getting started with python

This crash is very helpful to take you to the world of python. It is very good course for beginners. As this is a crash course don't expect that each and every bit of python will be taught, but it will give you all the key concepts to start learning.
